In the context of climate change, Nature-Based Solutions (NBSs), a recently developed concept, are increasingly considered as part adaptation strategies cities. Studies using expert models and methods (EMM) receive great deal scientific attention. Considering EMM increasing use, this study aims to perform an analysis reported evaluation results, reflecting capability accurately tackle urban cha...

Background: Streptococcus pyogenes or group A streptococcus (GAS) is an important human pathogen responsible for a broad range of infections, from uncomplicated to more severe and invasive diseases with high mortality and morbidity. Epidemiological surveillance has been crucial to detect changes in the geographical and temporal variation of the disease pattern; for this purpose the M protein ge...

A very general test statistic for contrasting two nested or nonnested dynamic nonlinear econometric models is presented. It is based on the idea of testing the specification of the first model by using the second model to generate moment conditions for the efficient method of moments (EMM) estimation procedure. The testing procedure also provides guidance as to what aspects of the model should ...

A previously healthy 13-month-old boy developed group A beta-hemolytic streptococcus bacteremia coinciding with numerous eruptive subcutaneous lesions primarily on his extremities. Skin biopsy revealed infectious panniculitis; gram-positive cocci were present within both fat lobules and septa. Molecular genetic analysis of an isolate from the patient's blood revealed an emm type 4 organism disp...

The article considers the problem of analytical determination fuel economy performance earth-moving machines by example road grader. values grader consumption when performing technological operations have been obtained and analyzed. balance EMM in traction mode is presented. motor digging soil has defined

Throat swabs are regarded as the "gold standard" for diagnosing streptococcal pharyngitis and for surveillance research. Culturing throats in remote tropical settings is logistically difficult, and these settings are commonly burdened by high rates of streptococcal disease. The survival of streptococci on swabs may depend on whether they are of "throat" or "skin" type, as determined by emm patt...

New Caledonia is an archipelago in the South Pacific with a high prevalence of acute rheumatic fever and rheumatic heart disease. Conducted in 2006, this study aimed at characterizing clinical manifestations and microbial features of isolates obtained from invasive Streptococcus pyogenes disease. Clinical and demographic data were collected prospectively. Isolates were biotyped, T typed, emm se...

The paper reviews three schemes for the Exact Model Matching (EMM) problem and presents two new schemes, which are logical developments of the third. A comparison is made.

BACKGROUND We hypothesized that (1) a significant proportion of ischemic dysfunctional segments that do not improve function will demonstrate postrevascularization contractile reserve and (2) electromechanical mapping (EMM) can identify segments that improve function as well as those with postrevascularization contractile reserve, a potential indicator of delayed functional improvement. METHO...

To achieve high precision, stability, and good surface quality when producing micro-dimple arrays on cylindrical surfaces, we propose a new processing method known as radial ultrasonic rolling electrochemical micromachining (RUREMM) in this study. This is based the (EMM) machining principle. The relevant simulation model was created, ANSYS researched flow field characteristics of electrolyte be...
